how many square feet to an acre

If you can remember that a mile is 5280 ft and a square mile is 640
acres, you can always derive it.

Or you could use the Convert function in Excel -
=CONVERT(number,from_unit,to_unit)
Use the help key for syntax for the "from-unit" & "to_unit"

Oh really? What's the exact formula to convert from an acre to square feet?

43,560 apologies - I should have checked that there was support for units of area before opening up
my big keyboard :)

The Convert function doesn't directly support units of area, but can be used for "square units to
square units" conversion. Eg to convert 100 square feet to square metres use the following formula:
=CONVERT(CONVERT(100,"ft","m"),"ft","m")
